Reverse camera retrofit wiring help!

Post by Fiskey »

Hey! Was just hoping someone could shed some light on how I am to go about wiring up the new reversing camera I bought, to the quad lock of my mib 2. It’s the badge flip style one (of course of AliExpress). I can see many posts about installing the same thing, but I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere.
Thanks in advance :)

Positive thick red wire with fuse tap-- connect to +30 signal(battery feed)
Black thick wire to-- any near by ground point.
Blue wire to reverse light ( tail light connector)

Ignore the thin red wire.

You've already connected correctly the video signal lines to blue connector of quadlock connector.

Need to code the MIB2 after wiring completion for camera to work.

Thank you so much! I managed to get all the power lines connected with the help of a multimeter last night. The guide says the red line says is the 'driving test control line', what does that mean?? Also have a new problem where the camera won't fold back in, I can hear the motor trying to do its thing but it won't fold back in, any idea why?

Hello, can you help me with the MIB2 coding, I have connected the camera as shown in the pictures but camera does not turn on, the emblem opens up and the camera shows, but no video signal to the screen is shown, just the park assist.
